A friend of mine is a professor in a university and he is looking for a network\back-up solution for his 8-computer lab. The internet is provided by the university and they have ports all over the room. I called their tech support and they informed me that their server simply provides IP addresses to all the computers in the building with a DHCP server. A did a quick browsing of the network and they don't have any domain setup, just a bunch of workgroups.
Can I install WHS in this environment?
Would the server see all the machines and let me install on the 8 ones I need to setup?
Would their Windows Server doing the DHCP support UPnP?
What kind of questions do I need to ask their tech office to get WHS working?
Thanks for your help,
Vincent
